How Victims of Abuse Could Refine Their Souls
Respected scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. There are quite a few Muslim men and women out there who have been victims of mental and physical abuse. Those who were abused as children and even young adults often blame Islam since their abusers were supposedly practicing Muslims. As a result, they go on to abuse others, mostly their spouses, due to their vulnerability. What can these Muslims do to help themselves so that they can regain their strength and rid themselves of these abusive tactics and follow Islam in spite of the abuse that they suffered? Jazakum Allah khayran.
